To His Excellency your Petitioner ^Thomas^ Jefferson Hansel respectfully states that the was fined $20 & costs -- at the Term of the Rock Castle Circuit Court for playing at a game of cards. He further states that some 12 months since your Excellency respited the Judgments for 12 months, which respite has expired as he is informed --

He states that he is no gambler and does gamble for money and has not since that time gambled with anyone --

He states that he is very poor and has a family to support -- and thus thas not property sufficient to pay this debt -- He states that he has worked for the circuit court clerk and paid him part of the costs -- and he will be greatly destressed or have to go to jail if ^he^ gets not relief

He therefore prays that your Excellency may remit the fine except feese & costs.
